EVE Information Portal

I saw cinematic undocking / docking. Its very cool to see it one time. One is enough. Now need to disable it

I'm a little disappointed about recent releases. You waste your resources on gongs, cinematic dock/undock, pirate titans, but you make the game harder and harder for newcomers. Did you discover that all the people interested in EVE already play it, so there will not be new players anymore?

Recent fakaps that make this game harder for beginners

1. Changing the initial SP value and leaving the old tutorial.
The tutorial was pretty nice, and it wasa good opportunity to learn Eve and get some money and important skills. Now all the tutorial skills are already injected. So playing the tutorial is rewarded very often with useless skillbooks. First impression of a newcomer?
Solution: You could just leave the previous initial SP value and playing the tutorial could be rewarded with a special tutorial skillbook which gain skill + skillpoints allocated to this skill. This could provide fast game game progression and very good new player expirience.

2. Citadels
Citadels have to replace POSes as we have been told. But the mechanics of Citadels suck imo. 7 days unanchoring is completely useless. If Citadel is anchored by a large corp it is no problem to loose it. But in High Sec there were hundrets of small newbie corps (We run a mining operation here. We have POS and Orca boost). Citadel is very easy to destroy, and a wardecced corp has no chance to evacuate the assets. This mechanics favors older players with a few battleships over newcomers with ventures.
Solution: just leave POSes in game. You may set the requirement, that a POS in Empire has to be fuelled with charters, even if it is off-line. When charters run out, the POS decays in 3 days. This will clean out the moons in Empire. If players will not move to Citadels which dont have be fuelled, this will be very good sign to look at them, and reconsider the mechanics.

3. Skill injectors
First - I like the idea of skill injectors. If you implemented the skill trading as you announced it would be very good for newcomers. But your solution favors older/richer players over newcomers. Let me explain. You announced this:

Yeah... But one year ago there it was not so hard to buy a char 70-80m SP for around 20b. Now the skill injectors removed this opportunity of buying better char by new players. Prices of chars are set by prices of skill points. Older players didn't extracted "those mining skills you don’t use any more", but extracted everything else leaving "stripped 5m SP miner". Current system favors players with fat wallets (in game or in real life ), but is poor for newbies.
This is a real issue. My friend recently wanted to start eve and I told him that the best way to start is buying a nice char on Bazaar selling plexes for 100-150 USD. When he asked me to find the nice toon I realised that deals are much worse than year ago, when I changed my main. He gave up. Entry cost of a computer game 100-150 USD is acceptable. Entry cost 1000 USD is madness. There is many ways how to fix the skill trading, but I really doubt you see the problem.

for real CCP gtfo now. this station movement crap is killing my eyes

Also, it was pointed it out in the SISI feedback topic. and you do what?

I assume we need to cancel our subcriptions again to have this optional....

Because this animation is very annoying.
Every release you add very annoying thing:

• dong
• flashing kill confirmation
• intermediate centering before rotation in new camera
• scope video in HQ
• ads in hangar

and now this stupid docking animation!

Do you really think that all these crap make EVE better? You are wrong!
You are killing the game with these "improvements".
Maybe you all need to stop the development of EVE and start practice for Euro 2020?
I got more enjoyment from watching how Iceland plays football at Euro 2016 than from playing last 3 months in EVE Online.

Ok, I will.

I have Autism, specifically the kind of ASD that used to be called "Aspergers syndrome" and can be referred to as "high-functioning". None of these are really labels I have an easy time identifying with, but it may help you understand my issues.

One of the symptoms of my condition is that I get sensory overloads. A very simplistic description of this is that lights, noises, lots of change in the scene, the need to repeatedly re-focus on different parts of the scene and lack of control over that scene will cause me to have an unpleasant experience. The actual experience can be discomfort, fatigue, nausia, pain, anxiety and/or anger. It can be subtle, something that only your subconscious picks up and steers you away from, or severe, like actual physical pain, retching and revulsion. In cases where I am kept in an overloaded state and cannot remove myself from it easily, I will go into a more extreme state that can involve panic, rage or mental shutdown.

This is why I switch off sound and a lot of the visual effects. This is why the new(er) UI is a step backwards for me. This is why the new in-station animations and the billboards are offensive. This is why I really do prefer the old EVE that I fell in love with rather than the new EVE that is increasingly unpleasant to expose myself to.

I'm not alone. CCP built the success of this game off the support of many players like me, but now you're turning your backs on us. It's no wonder that your feedback threads look like this. It's not like we don't tell you how we feel, it's just you aren't getting the message.

Thanks for those words of ignorance ^^ just unsubscriped all my accounts, enough is enough and that potion of arrogance is sick as ****....

Please listen to the comments in this thread and remove this docking/undocking animation or allow us to disable it. It is not just very annoying and unnecessary, it is making some people feel physically sick, I among them. Seriously, this is quite a major issue. People feel they are being forced to endure something just because the developers are stubborn.


Good things -

The wallet funds indicator popups. Nice useful feature imo.
The tactical overview direction and speed arrows. Very nice to be able to see at a glance what ships are doing, this adds a lot to the tac overview.


Other bad additions -

The 'x amount added to next bounty' popup after killing rat. No need for this, just adds unnecessary info clogging up the screen. It's already easy to tell how much you're getting for the rat bounty, it's right there in targeting. Compare to the wallet popup.

can I get a switch to turn off your new docking/undocking animation? Its annoying as ****!!!

HATE the docking animations. HATE HATE HATE. Please make it optional, or failing that....only when i dock a ship and not every time i switch ships in hanger. This is not welcome, or particularly immersive, it is just repetitive and annoying. Please make it go away.

This is one of those times I have a really hard time typing in lowercase because it doesn't express how I feel about something like the way the undocking animation resets my zoom every time I undock. This is one of those ideas that sounds really good in a design meeting, but upon two or more uses becomes obvious as a mistake. It's tedious and I have to perform a repetitive action not just to fix it but to place my zoom at any zoom that is usable. I can't believe this type of thing is still going on, you'd expect this type of mistake to happen less often over time.

You joke, but that is what it's like for me now... as unlike the old overview, the new one doesn't support the settings I need.
